Characteristics e.g. sensitizing or toxic effects, replication deficiant, not infectious, attenuated, inactivated (upload relevant documents)
Note V:
Effective vaccine available. The "V" tag has been adopted from Annex III of Directive
Approved as biological safety measure if taken as recipient organism for genetic engineering?
